DT 181 - Wishing You Joy Easel Card

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 181 - our last challenge of 2024!

The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

I saw a different version of an easel card on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. The front is a window type of opening. 

The two inside solid pieces were covered with woodgrain paper. I manually cut a frame from a third piece of cardstock and added three pieces for the inside of the frame. The frame piece was embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder and I dragged some ink pads over that to give it more interest. The images and sentiments were all foiled in gold and I stencilled the flowers and leaves. Those pieces were stacked onto more die cuts and adhered to the front of the frame. I added two sections of gold metallic thread and some gold gems around the images. I did die cut more of the pieces to adhere to the back to cover up the messy work. The card folds flat for mailing and there is a place on the back to write a message. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have until the end of December to link up your project. 

I am also linking up my card with the Jingle Belles challenge

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy, 

Alyson
